The day I left the comfort of my old job is that day I decided to jump. I was stuck in a dead-end job with a micromanager who kept blocking my attempts to move up. That fateful day, I sat with my resignation letter second guessing myself if I really should do this. I had been planning my exit for months, but it seemed the circumstances were never perfect. But I knew it was now or never.

With video streaming services and social media platforms reporting large amounts of traffic, videos are slowly but surely moving front and center as the most popular form of online content. Plus, they are made more accessible by the widespread use of mobile devices and the growing average speed of Internet connectivity. Look no further than sites like Twitch and YouTube to understand how powerful videos can be at keeping people glued to their screens. As a matter of fact, according to YouTube, U.S. residents aged 18-34 watch more videos on mobile devices than they do on any TV broadcast or cable network. Bearing this in mind, performing video optimization has never been as important as it is today. To get more eyeballs looking at your videos, you must do your best to ensure that people can find your videos online and that they choose to watch your video over the vast pool of competition -- something that was covered in the YouTube SEO 101 post. Getting yourself noticed on YouTube can be quite a daunting challenge, but in this post, we've rounded up some of the best tools that can help you optimize your YouTube videos for SEO. Without further ado, let's get started! One of the most crucial parts of producing videos is getting everything ready even before the camera starts rolling.

As AI and machine learning have infused themselves over the last half decade into nearly every corner of our lives, there has been a growing interest in how the biases of these models may be silently impacting society. Much of this focus has been on the issues of biased training data and a homogeneous workforce that lacks sufficient diversity of experience to recognize bias. However, lost in this conversation is the far bigger driving force: the lack of economic incentive to minimize bias in the technologies that increasingly power our lives. The digital world is an incredibly biased place. Geographically, linguistically, demographically, economically and culturally, the technological revolution has skewed heavily towards a small number of very economically privileged slices of society.

Twitter has released a new, free resource to help guide marketers' social media strategies in 2019.

Artificial intelligence (AI) will have a major impact on the digital workplace in the very near future. IBM studies revealed that within the next three years about 120 million workers in the world's 10 largest economies may need to be retrained or reskilled because of AI and intelligent automation. IBM officials also found that 67 percent of CEOs believe AI will drive significant value in HR. But, how is AI impacting the digital workplace now? Gartner reported that AI is currently being applied to areas that include collaboration (fee required), content services, intranets, human capital management/recruiting, IoT in the digital workplace, help desk/IT service monitoring, knowledge management, meeting solutions, search and insight engines, and virtual employee assistants.

MUNICH, GERMANY - Facebook has launched German initiatives to defend election integrity and examine the ethics of artificial intelligence (AI), its operations chief said on Sunday, seeking to convince skeptics it is serious about privacy and democracy. The world's largest social network had a tough 2018 as it was buffeted by revelations that U.K. consultancy Cambridge Analytica had improperly acquired data on millions of its U.S. users to target election advertising. Founder Mark Zuckerberg has been grilled by lawmakers on the data lapses and, according to newspaper reports, U.S. regulators are discussing fining Facebook for violating a binding agreement to protect the privacy of its users. "We are not the same company that we were in 2016 or even a year ago," Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg told the DLD Munich technology conference. "We have a fundamentally different approach to how we run our company today."
